Health Alert
Influenza A cost nearly 90 million businesses Valencia
The average labor cost of a worker off work for influenza A is estimated at 361.9 euros per week. The WHO pandemic forecast for this fall could affect 12% of workers Valencia. Large companies and institutions have launched plans for prevention, but not small and medium sized companies located in the autonomy.
JOSE LUIS ZARAGOZA VALENCIA After the holiday period, the economy faces a new problem. Influenza A threatens our health in this fall, but also companies. The only accurate data in Spain about the Newcastle disease virus propagated by N1H1 are 20,000 cases per week and 23 deaths in four months since the first case occurred in late April 2009, as noted by the Health Ministry data. They are the experts of the World Health Organization (WHO) to make forecasts about the impact of the pandemic is complicated, especially considering that not know what is going to be viral resistance to drugs, their potential for mutation or what will be the increased incidence in autumn and winter.
The famous bird will cost 1,000 million Spanish companies (about 90 million in the case of Valencia) and will affect 12% of workers, as noted by a report this week by the labor brokerage firm Adecco. The study forecasts that sick influenza caused by this process, which turns on the alarm before a pandemic that spread over the next few months across Europe, will increase 7.8% temporary work hours in addition to demands in other years. Thus, companies will demand more than 12.5 million hours to employment agencies to supply employees.
The economic impact in the Valencia is drawn from the weekly labor cost of a worker, (who is on leave of 361.9 euros, taking into account that the flu is 1 week) and multiplied by 12% affected than expected. raises the overall figure to 88.4 million for the Valencian companies. The calculation is estimated from a population of 2,037,000 workers.
Undoubtedly, the arrival of autumn trigger the infections of influenza A, a situation that affects fully to business productivity. Despite initial fears, governments of European Union states such as central banks in their estimates do not include a negative impact on their trading accounts.
Firms Valencia, on alert
In response, the consultants say the large firm and have programs and protocols that implement the return of summer. The Valencia Business Confederation (CEV) says it has taken matters into their partners to disseminate prevention plan outlined by the CEOE, Cepyme, UGT and CCOO.
Bancaja large corporations such as, Ford Spain, Iberdrola or public firms of the Generalitat are some large companies with plans to prevent influenza A. However, among SMEs, the big business fabric of the Comunitat-prevention plans are conspicuously absent, as noted by the unions.
Lows in seven days
Although absenteeism due to influenza is unlikely to cause chaos in the staffing business, absence from work for fear of contagion or attending family will ensure that businesses have plans for prevention and control avoid the skyrocketing rates of absenteeism. Computable labor costs during the discharge process of a worker benefits and contributions accounted for during the seven-day average duration is estimated that these processes flu. Anyway, the predicted 50% of absenteeism from other sources is "excessive" and would cause a chaotic situation in the business world with incalculable consequences, as the human resources firm Adecco.
The most effective way to combat the effects of influenza A business is the implementation of a prevention plan, and the collaboration of government, says Adecco, which raises the possibility of exemption from the cost of contributions credited in cases Temporary Disability (IT) for influenza A. However, offers businesses a decalogue of preventive measures to prevent the spread of its workers, including those proposed airing daily, increasing the cleaning, replace the paper towels, ensuring the existence of soap and paper in the toilets, and avoid meetings and travel.
The company also recommends that the worker washing hands frequently, cover your mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing, avoid places where lots of people and adopt healthy habits. If a worker is infected with influenza will be advised to call 112 or go to the doctor instead of the emergency room. Moreover, the affected will be 7 days at home to ensure non-transmission. The low should be managed like any other temporary disability process common contingency. There will be no isolation of the affected partners or closure of the enterprise, but if more than one is infected shall coordinate with health authorities, the company indicating the protocol to follow.
Prevention Plan
Companies should have a plan against which to collect the forecast of the impact of the pandemic on the company (with the identification of areas, employees, products and essential services), establishment of contingency measures, allocation of resources to protect staff and customers, workers training and coordination of efforts with other organizations. So far, only large multinationals with their own prevention departments are implementing such plans.
WHO estimated in late August that the avian H1N1, first pandemic of the century, has affected some 210,000 people and caused around 2,200 deaths. Meanwhile, in its resolution of May 7, published in the Official Gazette (BOE), Ministry of Labor and Immigration established that periods of isolation by Influenza A is regarded as temporary unfit for common illnesses, is say, a decline that has no direct relationship with work.
This kind of subsidy, we begin to perceive the fourth days of being drawn down, "is borne by the employer" from day one which provides temporary disability until the fifteenth day of durability, said the spokesman of the Secretariat of State for Social Security. From day 16 on which the employee is unable to work, payment of the benefit that becomes a task receives Social Security or Mutual.
According to Adecco claims, it fair that the administration shares responsibility in a public health problem that costs do not move "only to those companies." In this regard, proposing the exemption of the amount of contributions credited in cases of temporary incapacity for influenza A.
Tourism calls for more vaccine
While the central government recently approved the implementation of an extraordinary credit of 333 million euros, by the Contingency Fund, to meet the cost of the resources allocated to combat pandemic influenza E, the tourism industry calls shots across the sector. The World Tourism Organization (WTO) claiming that countries like Spain, with many employees in this sector, may be vaccinated against the H1N1 virus. However, the effect of falling sales of airlines will be diluted to occur in low season, as the winter months are the lower occupation.
A golden opportunity for the Valencian citrus?
A troubled waters, fishermen gain. While influenza A skyrocket farm?uticas trading firms (concentrated in a few multinatinational) and the health sector, including farmers could take their chance, which may well take the Valencian citrus growers. It did so again this week the chairman of the horticultural cooperatives Spain, Valencian Arnandis Cyril, or the president of the Valencian Farmers' Association (AVA), Cristobal Aguado. Both said that the occasion is perfect to promote the consumption of tangerines and oranges healthy given the role of these fruits so rich in vitamins C and A. Also other fruits and vegetables, especially carrots and persimmons, acquire a leading role in the prevention factors. Will it increase consumption? It is ideally placed to revive the shattered sales and improve prices for farmers who have suffered from several decades. If all the Spanish took a glass of orange juice for breakfast would end the crisis, says the sector.
Drug companies pull the bag
With the new pandemic virus H1N1, Tamiflu has again become the target of large operations. Hoffman-La Roche has announced that it has available 3 million doses of the drug and can produce up to 400 million doses per year through its business partnerships in various parts of the world. Shares of giant Roche Holding AG in Zurich stock grow steadily. Thus, the bag seems to forget the disease and although the day we broke the news of the influenza A stocks fell, since then the industry have increased their market capitalization.
